The Madison-Morgan Cultural Center received a grant this summer from the Milledgeville Chapter of the Watson-Brown Foundation Junior Board of Trustees for $6,500. The grant will be used to fund the Center's Video History Project, "Ring Out: A Celebration of the 1895 School Building."

The video will document and preserve the history of the distinctive Romanesque-Revival building, which began as one of the first brick graded schools in the South, then served as the site of the local library, and today houses the Cultural Center, a renowned center for the visual and performing arts and humanities.

The Watson-Brown Foundation supports historic preservation in part through its Junior Board of Trustees, a group of local high school students whose exclusive mission is to preserve local history.
